Fascial Stretch Therapy

What Is Fascia?

Located just under the skin, fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in one place.
Fascia stretches as we move, but often tightens up with stress, lack of movement, injury, overuse of muscles, or compromised posture.

Signs And Symptoms Of Tight Fascia Could Include:

• Limited range of motion through the joint
• Deep, aching pain throughout the muscle
• Pulling and discomfort that persists or worsens on a muscle or joint
• Difficulty sleeping due to pain

What Is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)

FST is a table-based, assisted stretching technique targeting the fascia and joint capsules. It’s a targeted, effective and pain-free experience that provides a deeper stretch than you could achieve on your own.

Using a hands-on approach, optimal stretch and relaxation is achieved through the support of straps which are attached to the table to stabilize the body.

With these tools, it allows the therapist to precisely manipulate the muscles and joints to

1) achieve the deepest stretch

2) decrease tension and stiffness

3) increase mobility

Who Benefits From Stretch Therapy?

Office Workers

Focus on posture and untangle those muscle fibers from prolonged sitting.

Athletes

Enhance recovery during intense training.

Maximizes your workouts by ensuring your joints have optimal range of motion. Keep your workouts efficient.

When you work out often, your body needs to recoup rapidly. FST increases blood flow towards muscles that require oxygen. It allows you to recover from strenuous workout sessions with less discomfort.

FST can help you run faster, perform better, develop endurance, improve balance, and increase flexibility.

Your therapist can help you enhance your range of motion by removing adhesions and allowing your body to release needless compensations with FST.

Chronic Pain And Stiffness

Relieve built up tension in your joints.
